If I get into kconfig hacking again I will try to look into fixing kconfig so we can have all Kconfig files in one hirachy. This would gives us useful information such as dependencies on unknow symbols and the like. Statistics as you describe could be relevant to find bad Kconfig design but I see this much more as a check thing for bad design than something to make it easier to reach more configs with 100 randconfigs. Anyway - this is just vapourware until someone starts to hack on kconfig.
